This painting shows a night scene with a big tree on the left side, its branches dark and tangled. The sky is swirling with thick, messy ink strokes, and a pale moon hangs high. Below, a faint outline of a hill and more trees sit in the distance, barely lit by the dim light. The brushwork is loose and rough, almost like scribbles. The artist used only black ink on paper, making it look like a sketch that was never smoothed out. Next, check out Hopson, William Fowler to see more of his work.
